michaelsbagley Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Some day I will be able to arrange & afford to come further north. Until then I will just have to wait for Blackbeard. Sigh North?!?!?! Due West Silky darling, due west! But I do so hope you can make it out this way sometime, it would be great to have you! As for the big bad dogge (all lower case intended), he can always try my tactic of standing there pouting and stomping his feet... Maybe it might work for him!

Silkie McDonough Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hmmm, it is due west ...how did I manage to place it north. Always have had an issue with geography. Well, the 8 hour drive is an issue. Of course I drive to Key West yearly. Well, maybe next year. This year I am keeping to either closer events or bi-monthly or close this year. Finances being what they are.

callenish gunner Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Ahoy Silkie! 3 hours west of Pittsburgh; Take the Sure-kill & get on the turnpike and keep going until you hit Columbus Edited May 12, 2009 by callenish gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkie McDonough Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Pittsburgh is 5 to 6 hours west of where I am, that makes it an 8 hour drive. After driving 8 hours & back regularly a few years ago I have no taste for that long of a drive alone. I seldom go to Pittsburgh now that my folks have passed. Maybe once I find someone to travel with. It also gets expensive for one person. Like I said, maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Original I think I had posted that the September edition is likely not going to be an overnight thing... Well it seems now it MIGHT be an option.... Although there is much to work out. Regardless, the September edition (on Talk Like a Pirate Day) will be a smaller to-do... And the wife and I are toying with ideas on how we can make the next bigger one (likely the same weekend next May) more of an all weekend thing... One idea we are playing with is creating some stuff for Friday evening (perhaps a fund raising Masquerade ball if we can find the backing and locale). These ideas are all very much just in the idea stage so far. And really I am more focussed on unwinding and reflection now... with a bit of buzz in the back of my skull telling me that I should be prepping for the Hampton Blackbeards festival.... However, if anyone has some constructive criticisms or ideas for next year (or for September), please do feel free to share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Bottles Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Linda Ketcham, the director of the Santa Maria, wants people to know how happy she was with the event and the auction.Mark I had a great time, and I plan on helping to make sure that I can have one next year, too. I will be making a small donation to the Santa Maria, and if we all do, we can help keep this ship afloat. Even ten or fifteen dollars would help. donate here This is my own idea, and is not a solicitation by any santa maria staff. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.

Mission Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Is that tax deductible? Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

michaelsbagley Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Is that tax deductible? My guess is probably yes, but if you are seriously concerned about it, I can contact Linda K (the director) and get a more solid answer. Another method (and another shameless plug here), is the Dead Man's Chest Auction, while this type of donation would likely not be tax deductable, you do get a goodie out of it... There are a few items that do not have bids, bidding $5 or $10 on one of those items is a donation to the ship, and if you don't like the item, you can use it as a "re-gift" item or a paper weight...

Diosa De Cancion Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hey Diosa,You need to get in on this nagging the Canadian thing too! Dang, I'm gone a couple of hours and people are replacing me for nagging. I'm a little more to the point though.... Mickey, get off your arse and make the woman her dress! I am sure I could come up with a fantastic list of reasons why she deserves it and that you probably owe her a hell of a lot more than a dress for male grief that you have caused... so start sewing Do you feel complete now that all of your women have nagged?

michaelsbagley Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 This is a little different.... On Sunday, I noticed a young lady (college age?) sitting with her two friends, for the most part the three of them seemed content to be sitting in the park chatting... except she had a sketch book and pencil which seemed to always be in motion. After watching her for a short while I went up and asked her if I could have a look... She was more than happy to oblige. I was thoroughly impressed! Later I asked her if she would be willing to scan and email me the sketches so I could share them here... She asked that I put in a shameless plug for her art, and said that she was more than okay with it... All of the sketches are very recognizable (as long as you know the person they are of)...

Later I asked her if she would be willing to scan and email me the sketches so I could share them here... That's neat. Doubly so in that she actually followed up. According to deviantart, she is 18, so she's probably just out of high school. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.
